With his proven track record of driving rapid sales growth across multiple product sets, and sales leadership skills he will complement the existing skills and strengths of our established teams. I have also been very impressed with Mark’s enthusiasm and ambition which are key characteristics in such as strategic role.

We are already established as one of the best distributors in the industry but we need to keep adding value, introducing new products and solutions and working closely with our partners to help them win more business.’
